Vietnamese and Japanese environmental experts gathered together at the water purification technology area beside the To Lich river and West Lake on the morning of September 16 to take water samples. The purpose of this is to evaluate the results of areas that had used Japanese technology to treat pollution in the To Lich river.

Members of the Japan – Vietnam Environment Joint Stock Company (JVE), the firm that installs Japanese nano technology, release Koi and carp fish into the To Lich river

According to a Japanese specialist, both Japanese Koi fish and Vietnamese Tam Duong carp fish must be in clean water in order to survive. If their habitat is polluted, then they will die.

Nguyen Tuan Anh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Japan-Vietnam Environment Investment JSC, says the release of the fish proves that the treated water in To Lich river is of a good quality and can ensure the development of creatures such as fish.
